The purpose of the Excellence Advisors are to assist Athletics South Africa to improve at the 2020 Olympic Games on its 5th position on the medal tally, achieved at the 2016 Olympic Games. In this regard ASA would like to broaden its base of National Coaches to enable all talented athletes to have access to the best Coaches in South Africa. The only opportunity where Coaches can qualify as National Coaches, and become one of ASA s panel of Excellence Advisors, are to deliver a medal winner at any ASA National Championship, and deliver a thesis in his/her specialist field at the National Coaches Symposium. ASA would like to give more Coaches an opportunity to qualify as a National Coach and become part of the panel of Excellence Advisors. Over the past decade ASA conducted only one National Coaches Symposium. During this time many coaches, through self-study, and empowering themselves in the art of athletics coaching, has excelled and delivered athletes who won medals at national and even international medals. The ASA Board has approved a period of amnesty for 2017 only, to allow Coaches whom has produced athletes that have won medals at a National Championship, and whom has developed themselves through self-study, and not through the normal qualification system of passing ASA level 1 and level 2, to qualify as a National Coach at the 2017 ASA National Coaches Symposium, which will take place from 7-8 October 2017 in Bloemfontein. Coaches whom qualify for the amnesty declared by the ASA Board, according to the above criteria, can use this opportunity to submit their credentials to ASA for evaluation. Successful applicants will be allowed to enter for the ASA National Coaches Symposium with the intension to qualify as a ASA National Coach and become a member of the Panel of Excellence Advisors, assisting ASA in its preparation for the 2020 Olympic Games.
